Pro wrestler Jay Briscoe, who currently wrestles with Ring of Honor, Combat Zone Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling Guerilla, and is the current Ring of Honor Chammpion with his brother Mark Briscoe, made some disgusting comments on Twitter yesterday morning following the passage of marriage equality in Delaware.

Said Briscoe: "The Delaware Senate passed a bill yesterday that allows same sex couples to get married. If that makes you happy, then congratulations!!!!! ... try and teach my kids that there's nothing wrong with that and I'll f**king shoot you"

Briscoe's Twitter account is offline as of this moment but I screencapped the tweets last night (below).

However, even if he wasn't the Ring of Honor World Champion, Jay Briscoe's latest homophobic outburst on Twitter should not only embarrass ROH management, but also the whole wrestling industry. It's one thing to politely disagree with gay marriage, quite another to say that you would commit acts of violence on anyone who teaches your children that it's OK.

I ought to shoot this f***king animal right in the balls for making such an asinine/hateful statement. This world has enough anti-gay bigoted morons running ragged in this country,we don't need anymore of these inbred knuckle-dragging apes to produce more of them.

He has effectively told his kids that he won't love them "no matter what". It doesn't even matter if his kids are straight as an arrow, they now know that their father's love and acceptance is conditional.

Don't worry, Briscoe. With that attitude, your children are much more likely to shoot themselves.

ROH is owned by conservative station group Sinclair Broadcast Group. The own TV stations in small to mid-sized markets and were the only broadcast group to air the hit piece on John Kerry during the 2004 election. So Briscoe has no fear of ROH management for his stupid remarks.

I hope none of his kids are gay, for their own sake. This guy is an animal, and that's not a compliment.

well, as Chadd pointed out, his kids don't need to be gay for them to know that their father's "love" for them is conditional and thus WEAK.

he just basically said that they're only loved on the condition that they be straight. even to a straight kid that's a massive insult.
